Pat Moylett & Charlie McDonagh Mayo with Michael Browne & Tom Tuffy Sligo Junior C doubles Connacht semi-final. The Mayo men won in straight games.
Sligo doubles pairs reach Connacht handball finals
The Emerald Masters B doubles pairing of Michael McMorrow & John McLoughlin qualified for the Provincial final following a facile 21-6, 21-3 victory over Mayo’s Jimmy Sheridan & Pat Hayes played in Castlebar on Friday evening last. McMorrow’s fine form continued when playing impressively as the duo cancelled out any thoughts of a Mayo win with a commanding display. Peter Chambers & Stanley Harte also qualified for the final with a 21-14, 21-8 victory over James McNulty & Tom Kenny. Chambers & Harte will be confident they can win their 2nd Connacht doubles title in as many years.
Unfortunately for the Ruby Masters team of Paddy Walsh & Mick Kelly reign as All-Ireland champions is over as a more determined John Kenny & Tom Derrig dealt with the Sligo men’s ambitions while playing impressively themselves. Kenny played superbly on the left side of court with the over worked Walsh matching Mayo’s double threat for long passages of play. Walsh ran himself to a standstill but the greater team display from Kenny & Derrig was enough to see the Mayo men advance to the All-Ireland semi-final where they will meet the Munster champions. The Junior C doubles of Tom Tuffy & Michael Browne suffered the same fate as they were well beaten by a more potent pairing from Mayo in Charlie McDonagh & Pat Moylett
